☆, Chapter 128 The dust has settled

However, many things will not happen unless he wants them to.

When the folder was opened, all the speculations became reality. The innate Dao body was nothing but a deception. Many of Yu Jiuyin's abilities were more akin to a Rongqing inheritance than to the Dao of Heaven.

The only difference is that Rongqing's biological father is a fierce ghost, while Yu Jiuyin's parents are celestial masters.

Forty years ago, all the captured Heavenly Masters did not die immediately. Instead, they were captured and subjected to a series of human experiments.

To ordinary people, the word "soul" is very vague and illusory. However, to the Celestial Masters, the soul is real, even tangible, and can be controlled and communicated with.

Of course, if it is an ordinary person, even if the soul is tangible, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time for use in experiments. There are only two types of souls, one is a fierce ghost, and the other is a heavenly master.

So, just like what the name implies, those Heavenly Masters were divided into different categories, the most powerful ones were kept, and starting with the weakest ones, their souls were extracted from their bodies, and then forcibly injected into the body of another even more powerful Heavenly Master, forcing them to merge.

It was like raising a Gu, but while the evil spirits would naturally engage in a fight, the Heavenly Master would passively accept it, bringing him nothing but endless pain and despair.

Yu Jiuyin's parents were the last two people left.

The director of the Siren Orphanage forced them to have sex, and eventually Yu Jiuyin's mother became pregnant and gave birth to Yu Jiuyin.

They had originally thought Yu Jiuyin was a monster, but they never expected that he was actually a natural Taoist. He could even communicate with evil spirits and demons from birth.

What's even more ironic is that Yu Jiuyin also inherited all the skills of those Heavenly Masters whose souls they extracted.

The natural Taoist body is indeed magical, but Yu Jiuyin's sensitivity to the mysterious arts does not come from this, but from those dead Taoist priests.

"So who am I exactly?" The folders fell to the ground. Yu Jiuyin turned to look at Rongqing, with a rare confusion in his eyes.

After seeing the truth, Yu Jiuyin even felt a huge disgust towards himself. He felt that just standing there was disgusting.

"It's not your fault." Rongqing hugged him.

"Yes, I understand. But there is no doubt that the Siren Orphanage killed so many celestial masters just to create a monster like me."

Yu Jiuyin finished speaking, immediately collected the hundred ghosts, and then prepared to return. Finding the Siren Orphanage and catching the culprit would complete his mission. The rest was up to the Rongqing Special Case Team to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, no one around him was injured or killed this time. Unfortunately, Yu Jiuyin finally learned about his origins and finally understood what he was carrying.

For the first time, he clearly understood the meaning of the sentence, "Some people's blood is dirty."

That's just how he is.

A monster created for his own selfish desires

On the way back, Yu Jiuyin remained silent. After landing, he helped the fishermen on the three fishing boats to untie the spells, then said hello to his master and the others before heading back to the Taoist temple.

"Didn't the problem get solved well? Why is Brother Yu unhappy?" The second brother didn't understand.

Rongqing sighed, not knowing what to say. Then he turned around and told Zhang Yao to collect the remains from the Siren Orphanage and send them to Yu Jiuyin's Taoist temple.

Rong Qing knew that the bodies of the deceased Heavenly Masters were inside. Regardless of the reason, Yu Jiuyin must have wanted to pay tribute to them. As for some of his emotional ties, he would probably leave them to time to resolve.

However, if you put yourself in their shoes, no matter who it was, they would probably take a while to calm down after learning about this. Especially since Yu Jiuyin had already been severely traumatized after experiencing the Yu family's schemes four years ago.

Just like that, there was no conversation along the way. When everyone returned to the Taoist temple, Yu Jiuyin had already rested in his own courtyard for a while.

"Brother said, there's no need to look at him. He's tired and wants some quiet time." Rui Ning stood guarding the gate of the yard, his tone full of apology, but the expression on his face looked like he was about to cry.

The second brother and the others had already heard Rongqing talk about Yu Jiuyin on the way. They felt very upset and didn't know how to persuade him. In the end, they could only leave silently.

That night, in Yu Jiuyin's courtyard, he was leaning back on his subordinate's recliner, lost in thought. His deep eyes seemed filled with thoughts, yet seemed to be thinking of nothing at all.

Rongqing came in quietly and hugged Yu Jiuyin from the side.

"I'm fine." Yu Jiuyin said to him softly, as if to comfort him and tell him not to worry, but his weak voice made it hard to believe.

Rong Qing said nothing, lowering his head to kiss Yu Jiuyin's forehead. After being exposed, Rong Qing completely let himself go. Besides, being able to walk was more convenient than being in a wheelchair. He now mostly appeared as a ghost. He left the shell with his master for treatment.

The kiss of a ghost is cold. Yu Jiuyin shuddered, but still insisted on moving closer to Rong Qing's arms. Cheer up and tease him, "Are you here to apologize? You can run away for seventeen or eighteen years. But I'm exhausted now. I'll deal with you when I'm better."

"It's all right. You can do whatever you want." The evil spirit would not blush. Although Rongqing's tone was not very smooth, he was able to play along with Yu Jiuyin with a clear conscience.

However, Yu Jiuyin was in a really bad mood. He fell asleep after speaking a few words. Seeing him like this, Rongqing stopped talking and waited until Yu Jiuyin fell asleep before carrying him into the house, putting him on the bed and covering him with a quilt.

Rongqing never advised Yu Jiuyin from beginning to end, because he understood that many things could not be effectively solved by persuasion.

Yu Jiuyin always has to face it alone.

Time flies, and the first month of the year is over in no time. And the second brother Xu Wang and the others who came back with him also have to leave.

The five younger ones including Gu Zhou had to go back to visit their family, and the second, third and Xu Wang had to leave as school started in more than half a month.

As for Zhang Yao and the others, they were still busy dealing with the aftermath of the orphanage case and had left a week ago.

However, until the second brother and the others were about to get in the car, Yu Jiuyin did not rush out of his yard.

"Master, Yu Ge..." Xu Wang said, his eyes red. They came out together, but Yu Jiuyin didn't go back. Although they had only known each other for half a year, they were together every day, and Xu Wang had long been accustomed to being with Yu Jiuyin.

No matter how good the mountain was, it was still relatively austere. Furthermore, Yu Jiuyin's yard was completely empty. Xu Wang had always felt that Yu Jiuyin wasn't in good health, and now he was even more worried.

As for the second and third brothers, although they didn't say anything, they also expressed the same sentiment. As for the eldest brother, he had always been worried that something might happen to Yu Jiuyin, so he was determined to stay in the mountain regardless of the consequences. He didn't even come out to see him off.

Looking at Yu Jiuyin's closed yard door, Xu Wang sighed and finally left silently.

In fact, he had vaguely heard Master Yu Jiuyin recount Yu Jiuyin's past experiences. After the Yu family incident, Yu Jiuyin remained in the mountains for four years, unable to recover. Although he appeared to be unconventional, his outer shell revealed him to be more soft-hearted than anyone else.

Xu Wang suddenly felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiuer is fine. The most difficult days are over. It's nothing now. Just think it through and turn around." Master Yu Jiuyin said this, but he felt bad in his heart.

But the second brother yelled towards the Taoist temple with a fierce face, "Brother Yu, remember to come and see me soon, or I will be old."

In the Taoist temple, Yu Jiuyin stood in the yard and heard everything clearly. Suddenly, his eyes turned a little red.

"Brother." The eldest brother came in with a cup of tea for Yu Jiuyin. He had recently been learning how to brew tea from Ruining and the others, but his technique was still far behind. He couldn't quite achieve the sweet aftertaste that Ruining's tea had.

Just like the cup in his hand, it was brewed too strong and would be very bitter after drinking it, but he felt that Yu Jiuyin might just need this little stimulation right now.

Yu Jiuyin took the tea from the boss's hand and drank it all without saying a word. Then he walked under the tree, leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

In order to save Grandpa Gan, he fed Rongqing with blood. Although there was no external injury, the excessive blood still put a heavy burden on his body, so he always felt extremely tired recently.

The eldest brother didn't disturb him. He went into the house, took out a blanket and covered Yu Jiuyin with it.

"Brother, it's still very cold."

"Yeah." Yu Jiuyin responded softly, and added, "Remember to return to school before school starts."

"I know," the eldest brother agreed obediently. He knew Yu Jiuyin's biggest regret was that he had lost his hand in the Yu family case, which forced him to drop out of school and not be able to continue his medical studies. So, Yu Jiuyin didn't want his younger brother to repeat the same mistake.

After the boss settled him, he pushed the door open and went out. Outside, Rong Zhuo was waiting for him.

"How's Yu Xiaojiu?" Rong Zhuo was also worried. Yu Jiuyin was acting the same as usual, except for her reluctance to leave the courtyard. But the more she acted like this, the more uneasy she felt.

The eldest brother shook his head and said, "It's okay. Brother Rong should be able to take care of the rest."

"What about you?" Rong Zhuo touched his head.

"I'm fine." The boss's tone was very firm. "For me, this is the best."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Rong Zhuo, "Are you afraid?"

There are less than three years left until Rong Zhuo's death.

Rong Zhuo didn't know what to say, so he suddenly reached out and hugged him, burying his head on the boss's shoulder. "I'm actually scared. I'm scared to death." He took two deep breaths, as if trying to suppress some emotion, and said word by word, "I'm afraid that I will die before I see all the results I want to see."

After all, even someone like Yu Jiuyin can't have everything go smoothly, let alone him, an ordinary person.

"Xiao Yuqi, you said I wouldn't do that, right?" Rong Zhuo held the boss's hand tightly.

"No." The boss hugged him back, wanting to give him the greatest comfort.

Meanwhile, Yu Jiuyin, who was in the room, had gotten up from his recliner before the boss left. He didn't want to sleep, he just didn't want to talk and make the boss worry about him.

Walking into the house slowly, Yu Jiuyin pushed open the main door of the hall. Hundreds of seats were densely packed there, and underneath were eternally burning lamps.

These were all the celestial masters who had been captured by the Siren Orphanage and died in the experiments. The two in the foreground were Yu Jiuyin's parents. Their lives and souls had been exchanged for the Yu Jiuyin we know today.

Yu Jiuyin paid tribute to them one by one, his expressionless face reflected by the flickering candlelight, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of world-weariness.

Unfortunately, he couldn't die no matter what, just like when he came back from Yu's house four years ago. Even if he was barely alive, he could only...

However, this time was different after all. The body that suddenly pressed against her from behind was cold, but it was exceptionally gentle.

Yu Jiuyin turned around and met Rongqing's serious gaze.

Unlike the others who were worried about Yu Jiuyin, Rongqing didn't seem to worry that Yu Jiuyin would do something irreversible under the pressure of guilt. He didn't even shy away from such occasions.

"You" Yu Jiuyin wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just relaxed his body and leaned on Rongqing.

Rongqing picked up Yu Jiuyin and carried her to the bed in the room.

Yu Jiuyin's bedroom was now much more comfortable than when she first came back. It had originally been completely empty, devoid of furniture, but now it looked almost like the haunted house in City B.

Rongqing helped him change his clothes, then tucked him into the quilt and sat beside him to keep him company.

Yu Jiuyin squinted his eyes and looked at Rongqing for a while, then gradually fell asleep. This time he really fell asleep.

Rongqing touched his hair, picked up a book about Feng Shui that Yu Jiuyin had placed on the bedside table, and read it page by page.

Rong Qing felt that the present was the best life for Yu Jiuyin. He wasn't afraid of Yu Jiuyin becoming world-weary. He understood that even if he did, Yu Jiuyin had ties and concerns, and he would never commit suicide, no matter what.

After all, he had survived four years ago with only his master. Even more so now, with so many people guarding him. Even Zhang Yaomingyu and the others from the special case team, who he initially disliked, had long since been accepted by Yu Jiuyin as part of his inner circle.

Moreover, the Lingdang family was still waiting for their father's death to reunite with them and enter the Pure Land. The ghost doll hadn't grown up yet. The eldest brother was still waiting for Yu Jiuyin to teach him the mysterious arts. The master was unreliable. If he really let the master teach him, the good boy would become a monkey.

As for the second and third brothers, no one knows whether these two deceased college students will be unlucky enough to encounter other troubles. As for Xu Wang, after his sister's case was solved, to him, Yu Jiuyin was almost the same as his biological brother.

And the five little ones including Gu Zhou.

Most importantly, Yu Jiuyin understood one thing: his birth was due to the sacrifices of those Celestial Masters, so even in times of trouble, the current metaphysical community was a responsibility he must shoulder. Yu Jiuyin had to find a way to revive the lost unique skills and schools and return them to the Metaphysical Association.

Of course, this process would be very long, but for Yu Jiuyin, this lengthy process was actually a good thing.

His life was too long, he was immortal. If he had nothing to do, anyone would probably go crazy, not to mention Yu Jiuyin.

But now it seems that this immortality is giving Yu Jiuyin a chance to complete his mission.

Indeed, this is very unfair. But living in this world is inherently unfair. You get what you give. This may seem like a wise saying, but in reality, the concept of equal substitution is something that can never truly exist.

Rongqing understood that Yu Jiuyin just needed a break temporarily. When he had rested, he would still be the Yu Jiuyin who could take on everything.

Five years later, in the suburbs of Beijing, City B, there is a very exciting haunted house.
